Spider-Man
–
Spider-Man is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character was created by writer-editor Stan Lee and writer-artist Steve Ditko, when Spider-Man first appeared in the early 1960s, teenagers in superhero comic books were usually relegated to the role of sidekick to the protagonist. Marvel has featured Spider-Man in several book series, the first. In the 2010s, he joins the Avengers, Marvels flagship superhero team, Spider-Mans nemesis Doctor Octopus also took on the identity for a story arc spanning 2012–2014, following a body swap plot in which Peter appears to die. Spider-Man is one of the most popular and commercially successful superheroes, the character was first portrayed in live action by Nicholas Hammond in the 1977 television movie Spider-Man. Reeve Carney starred as Spider-Man in the 2010 Broadway musical Spider-Man, in 1962, with the success of the Fantastic Four, Marvel Comics editor and head writer Stan Lee was casting about for a new superhero idea. He said the idea for Spider-Man arose from a surge in demand for comic books. At that time Lee had to get only the consent of Marvel publisher Martin Goodman for the characters approval, in a 1986 interview, Lee described in detail his arguments to overcome Goodmans objections. In particular, Lee stated that the fact that it had already decided that Amazing Fantasy would be cancelled after issue #15 was the only reason Goodman allowed him to use Spider-Man. While this was indeed the issue, its editorial page anticipated the comic continuing. Will appear every month in Amazing, regardless, Lee received Goodmans approval for the name Spider-Man and the ordinary teen concept, and approached artist Jack Kirby. Lee and Kirby immediately sat down for a conference, Theakston writes. Steve Ditko would be the inker, when Kirby showed Lee the first six pages, Lee recalled, I hated the way he was doing it. Not that he did it badly—it just wasnt the character I wanted, Lee turned to Ditko, who developed a visual style Lee found satisfactory. Ditko recalled, One of the first things I did was to work up a costume, a vital, visual part of the character. I had to know how he looked, for example, A clinging power so he wouldnt have hard shoes or boots, a hidden wrist-shooter versus a web gun and holster, etc. I wasnt sure Stan would like the idea of covering the characters face and it would also add mystery to the character. Although the interior artwork was by Ditko alone, Lee rejected Ditkos cover art, as Lee explained in 2010, I think I had Jack sketch out a cover for it because I always had a lot of confidence in Jacks covers

International Standard Book Number
–
The International Standard Book Number is a unique numeric commercial book identifier. An ISBN is assigned to each edition and variation of a book, for example, an e-book, a paperback and a hardcover edition of the same book would each have a different ISBN. The ISBN is 13 digits long if assigned on or after 1 January 2007, the method of assigning an ISBN is nation-based and varies from country to country, often depending on how large the publishing industry is within a country. The initial ISBN configuration of recognition was generated in 1967 based upon the 9-digit Standard Book Numbering created in 1966, the 10-digit ISBN format was developed by the International Organization for Standardization and was published in 1970 as international standard ISO2108. Occasionally, a book may appear without a printed ISBN if it is printed privately or the author does not follow the usual ISBN procedure, however, this can be rectified later. Another identifier, the International Standard Serial Number, identifies periodical publications such as magazines, the ISBN configuration of recognition was generated in 1967 in the United Kingdom by David Whitaker and in 1968 in the US by Emery Koltay. The 10-digit ISBN format was developed by the International Organization for Standardization and was published in 1970 as international standard ISO2108, the United Kingdom continued to use the 9-digit SBN code until 1974. The ISO on-line facility only refers back to 1978, an SBN may be converted to an ISBN by prefixing the digit 0. For example, the edition of Mr. J. G. Reeder Returns, published by Hodder in 1965, has SBN340013818 -340 indicating the publisher,01381 their serial number. This can be converted to ISBN 0-340-01381-8, the check digit does not need to be re-calculated, since 1 January 2007, ISBNs have contained 13 digits, a format that is compatible with Bookland European Article Number EAN-13s. An ISBN is assigned to each edition and variation of a book, for example, an ebook, a paperback, and a hardcover edition of the same book would each have a different ISBN. The ISBN is 13 digits long if assigned on or after 1 January 2007, a 13-digit ISBN can be separated into its parts, and when this is done it is customary to separate the parts with hyphens or spaces. Separating the parts of a 10-digit ISBN is also done with either hyphens or spaces, figuring out how to correctly separate a given ISBN number is complicated, because most of the parts do not use a fixed number of digits. ISBN issuance is country-specific, in that ISBNs are issued by the ISBN registration agency that is responsible for country or territory regardless of the publication language. Some ISBN registration agencies are based in national libraries or within ministries of culture, in other cases, the ISBN registration service is provided by organisations such as bibliographic data providers that are not government funded. In Canada, ISBNs are issued at no cost with the purpose of encouraging Canadian culture. In the United Kingdom, United States, and some countries, where the service is provided by non-government-funded organisations. Australia, ISBNs are issued by the library services agency Thorpe-Bowker

Spider-Man in television
–
The character of Spider-Man has appeared in multiple forms of media besides comics, including on television numerous times, in both live action and animated television programs. In 1977, a live action television series was produced called The Amazing Spider-Man. Although the series earned good ratings, the CBS Television Network canceled it after just two seasons, along with Wonder Woman, to avoid being labeled as the superhero network, the series was broadcast only sporadically during the second season. Several episodes from this series were turned into motion pictures outside the U. S. Three movies were released overseas, Spider-Man in 1977, Spider-Man Strikes Back in 1978, in 1978, a Spider-Man live-action tokusatsu series was produced for Japanese television by Toei Company. Due to a request by Bandai that the show include giant robots and vehicles, instead of Peter Parker, Spider-Man is Takuya Yamashiro. It was not related to Ryoichi Ikegamis earlier 1970 Spider-Man manga, the concept of costumed superheroes piloting giant robots introduced in the Japanese Spider-Man was carried over to Battle Fever J, which became a tradition in the Super Sentai franchise. The first animated series was simply titled Spider-Man, and ran on ABC from 1967 to 1970, the shows first season was produced by Grantray-Lawrence Animation, which soon went bankrupt. In 1968, animator Ralph Bakshi took over, bakshis episodes, which suffered from extremely low budgets, were stylized and featured dark ominous settings and pervasive background music. One episode reused complete background animation, characters, and storyline from an episode of Rocket Robin Hood, the series may be best remembered for its theme song. Spider-Man was voiced by Paul Soles, in 1981, with the creation of the animation studio Marvel Productions Ltd. Marvel endeavored to translate more of their characters to television. To garner the attention of the networks, Marvel first created a new syndicated Spider-Man cartoon that was partially based on the old 1960s show. The strategy worked, and NBC became interested in having their own Spider-Man cartoon, actor Dan Gilvezan gave voice to this incarnation of the wall-crawler. This series also featured a number of Marvel guest stars, the 1994, Spider-Man animated series was made for the Fox Network, with Christopher Daniel Barnes providing the webslingers voice. This series had a budget and used a novel system of one large story arc per season developed by John Semper. As a result, each of the individual 65 episodes were called chapters and this series more closely reflected the comic book as it focused on the personal conflict Peter Parker felt as Spider-Man, instead of following the action-oriented shows that preceded it. This was the longest Spider-Man series, with 65 episodes in five seasons, several episodes were consolidated into direct-to-video DVD films, such as Daredevil vs. Spider-Man

The series relied on reused stock animation, including Spider-Man swinging across the New York City skyline, the second and third seasons were produced on a reduced budget by Krantz Films under Ralph Bakshi. The cost-cutting is most apparent in the season, with two episodes reusing almost all the footage from two Rocket Robin Hood episodes and remaking previous episodes with minimal changes. An error in Spider-Mans costume appeared throughout season one, with the spider on his costume having only six legs, by season two new drawings of the costume showed an eight-legged spider but reused footage from season one continued that seasons error.

The Amazing Spider-Man (TV series)
–
The Amazing Spider-Man was shown in the United States from September 19,1977 to July 6,1979. Though it was a ratings success, the CBS series was cancelled after just 13 episodes. None of the episodes were released on DVD, but almost all of them have been released on VHS, despite its storylines being set in New York City, the series was mostly filmed in Los Angeles. During the mid-1970s, Marvel Comics publisher Stan Lee sold CBS the rights to produce a prime time live-action Spider-Man series, veteran actor Nicholas Hammond was cast in the lead role. Lee and Goodman fiercely clashed over the direction of the series during the initial production, Lee once said in an interview for Pizzazz magazine that he felt the series was too juvenile. In it, Peter Parker gains super powers after being bitten by a radioactive spider and he uses those powers to get a job at the Daily Bugle, and to stop a con man who is covertly using mind control for personal gain. The pilot garnered a 17.8 rating with a 30 share - CBS highest rating for the entire year, however, citing concern over the pilots relatively weak ratings in the lucrative adult-demographic, CBS picked up the series for only a limited, five-episode order. The series ended up being the 19th-highest-rated show of the entire season, however, CBS was reluctant to commit to giving the show a regular/fixed time slot for the 1978-79 season, as the series was expensive to produce and continued to underperform with older audiences. Former Six Million Dollar Man producer Lionel Siegel took over duties for season two, noticeably changing the show in an attempt to grow its adult audience. The second season aired throughout the 1978-79 TV season. The series continued to do well in the ratings during its second season, however, CBS officially cancelled the series soon after the season ended. The chief reason for the cancellation was that CBS feared being perceived as merely a one-dimensional, superficial, the series yielded the first and only live-action depictions of Peter Parkers spider-tracer tracking/homing devices, they are prominently featured in several episodes throughout the series. In a 2002 interview with SFX magazine, Nicholas Hammond revealed that there were plans to do an Amazing Spider-Man series reunion movie in 1984. The proposal would have had the original cast team-up with the cast of The Incredible Hulk television series, according to Hammond, a deal was arranged to have Columbia and Universal Studios co-produce the project. Bill Bixby was going to direct the TV-movie, in addition to reprising the role of David Banner, however, Universal eventually canceled the project. Hammond said he was told that Lou Ferrigno was unavailable to reprise his role as the Hulk, the only characters to appear regularly in both the television series and comics were Peter Parker/Spider-Man, J. Jonah Jameson, and Aunt May. Joe Robbie Robertson also appeared, but only in the pilot, farley Stillwell, a scientist in the Marvel universe, makes a cameo in Wolfpack. A different actress played Aunt May in each episode in which she appeared, in both these incarnations, J. Jonah Jamesons abrasive, flamboyant personality was toned-down, and the character was portrayed as more avuncular

Spider-Man (Toei TV series)
–
Spider-Man is a Japanese live-action Tokusatsu television series produced by Toei Company, loosely based on Marvel Comicss Spider-Man character. The series lasted 41 episodes, which aired on the Wednesday 19,30 JST time slot of Tokyo Channel 12 from May 17,1978, a theatrical episode was also shown in the Toei Manga Matsuri film festival on July 22,1978. From March 5 to December 24,2009, Marvel uploaded English subtitled versions of all 41 episodes on their official website. While Toeis version of the character wore the costume as his Marvel counterpart, the shows storyline. In addition to fighting by himself, this incarnation of Spider-Man also piloted a giant robot known as Leopardon, Toei would adopt the giant robot concept in subsequent incarnations of their own Super Sentai franchise. The show was the result of a licensing agreement with Marvel that allowed both to use each others properties in any way they wanted. Toei initially planned to use Spider-Man as a character for an unmade television series starring a fictionalized version of Yamato Takeru who was sent to the present via a time warp. The character who appeared on this show was intended to be identical to the Marvel version. However, Toei decided to make Spider-Man the protagonist instead and the character of Yamato Takeru was revised into Garia, the resulting show deviated from the source material completely, outside of Spider-Mans costume and some of his superpowers and gadgets. Other productions by Toei as a result of licensing deal included Battle Fever J. Marvel would use the robots from two of Toeis anime programs, Wakusei Robo Danguard Ace and Chōdenji Robo Combattler V, in their comic book adaptation of the Shogun Warriors toyline.

Spider-Woman (TV series)
–
Spider-Woman is an animated television series, based on the Marvel Comics character Spider-Woman. The series was produced by DePatie-Freleng Enterprises and Marvel Comics Animation and it was also DePatie-Frelengs final series before its reincorporation as Marvel Productions. As an adult, Jessica is editor of Justice Magazine, with two other employees featured, photographer Jeff Hunt and Jessicas teenage nephew Billy, when trouble arises, Jessica slips away to change into her secret identity of Spider-Woman. The cartoon differs considerably from the book in its premise. Billy, Jeff, and Justice Magazine never appear in the book in any form. Nor do the elements of the comic book enter into the much brighter world of the cartoon. The origin of her powers is also altered somewhat, at the time of the series production, in addition to the ability to cling to walls, Spider-Woman retains the ability to fire bursts of energy from her hands called venom blasts, but they are white instead of green. The episode Realm of Darkness seems to imply that Venom Blasts can be fired as long as Spider-Woman has enough strength and she can also project spider-like weblines from the palms of her hands or an individual finger. This appears to be generated, as opposed to Spider-Mans mechanical web-shooters. She is able to control the direction in which her weblines move, The Kingpin Strikes Again shows her casting a web in a spiral to disorient. The animated Spider-Woman also had the ability to change into costume merely by spinning around, in the episode The Spider-Woman and the Fly, where Jessica had been momentarily stripped of her powers, her costume reverted to the everyday civilian clothes she wore for work. While Spider-Woman could only glide on air currents in the comics, perhaps the most noticeable similarity is animated stock footage, where – before any episodes were completed – an animated sequence was created. This sequence would be used with an appropriate background added, whenever the need would arise, one example is Spider-Woman turning around, from back to front. Another example is where Jessica Drew gets a spider-sense, turns her head while she closes her eyes, however, the release never came to be due to Liberation going bankrupt. The complete series of Spider Woman was finally released on Region 2 DVD format on 20 July 2009, the series is released in a 2-disc set from Clear Vision Ltd. Spider-Woman at the Internet Movie Database Spider-Woman at the Big Cartoon DataBase Spider-Woman @ Animated Superheroes Liberation Entertainment

Spider-Man is an action video game released in 1982 by Parker Brothers for the Atari 2600. It was the first video game to feature Spider-Man and also the first Marvel Comics based video game, the game involves players controlling Spider-Man to scale a building using his web shooters in order to defuse bombs planted by the Green Goblin. Spider-Man is only able to use his web lines to move up the building either vertically or diagonally, generic criminals dwell along the many floors of the building, moving randomly from one window to another. Spider-Man counts with limited web fluid to achieve his goal, indicated by a meter at the bottom of the screen, the web fluid meter slowly depletes as time passes, acting like a time limiter of sorts. If the meter depletes completely, Spider-Man will plummet to the ground with no means of saving himself, if the player has no lives left, the game will be over. Spider-Man can replenish a little amount of web fluid for each captured criminal or for each small bomb defused, to capture a criminal, Spider-Man must make physical contact with them. However, if a criminal manages to touch his web line, they cut it and send Spidey plummeting below. Near the top of building, the layout changes to a series of girders where the Goblin has planted many small bombs to hinder Spideys progress. When a bomb is about to explode, it will change its color from black to red, defusing a red bomb yields more points than a black one. Once the fuse is lit, there is a time to reach the super bomb before it detonates. The building is sometimes a different color. The Atari 2600 version of Spider-Man can be played for free in the browser at the Internet Archive

Questprobe is a trilogy of graphical adventure computer games featuring Marvel Comics characters. The three games are Questprobe featuring The Hulk, Questprobe featuring Spider-Man and Questprobe featuring The Human Torch, the original plan was for a series of twelve games, but Adventure Internationals bankruptcy in 1985 brought a rapid and premature end to the line.

Because of this, Questprobe featuring The Hulk was much rougher than the subsequent titles in the series and it could only handle two word directions at a time and understood very few terms. The second Questprobe adventure which featured Spiderman improved on the verb noun command interface of The Hulk, the title also incorporated improved graphics. The partially coded game can be found around the internet and on many fan sites, a Questprobe comic book tie-in was also released. Originally intended as a 12-issue limited series, this series was canceled after issue #3 due to Adventure Internationals bankruptcy, the story intended for issue #4, featuring the X-Men, was published in Marvel Fanfare #33. The events of the Questprobe comic book were followed up on in the Quasar series. Questprobe series at MobyGames Questprobe series at World of Spectrum Questprobe series screenshots and statistics
